Dr. Brody’s Natural Approach to Sore Throats
A sore throat can be the first sign of an oncoming cold. The scratchy, chalkboard sensation in your throat is not a pleasant one. However, it can be prevented and lessened if treatment is started promptly. A sore throat you are experiencing can be due to a number of factors, but to make it more simplistic, just think of it as your body trying to discharge toxins and leftover immune cells in your throat/tonsils. We want to promote this so the symptoms go away quickly while simultaneously working on ways to reduce the pain and irritation. There are many natural medications that can be used for sore throats, tonsillitis, and strep throat, but you should seek out a naturopathic physician first so they can make sure you are taking safe and effective supplements and that there are no interactions with any medications that you are currently taking.
